Animal Jam - Play Wild! review

Animal Jam — Play Wild is an open world online game where you can create and customize your own animal avatar, build and modify their den, play mini games, and explore a variety of locations with other players from around the world.

The game was created by WildWorks together with National Geographic foundation. They set up an environment where you can both have fun and learn about the animals inhabiting our planet, the threats they face, and how we have a responsibility to preserve the nature.

If you have fine motor skills, navigation and memory for virtual environments, you are all set to go.

Graphics 4,5/5

Animal Jam has fantastic 3D graphics where each character has a fun and unique look. Locations are all beautifully designed, featuring forests, mountains, buildings, fountains, and more.

Vivid colors and cute animals will catch your eye and keep you engaged in this wonderful open world.

Gameplay 4,5/5

The Animal Jam’s gameplay involves navigating an open world where you can interact with other players by challenging them to mini games. Each game has quick instructions which are easy to learn. Beyond that, there are “fun facts” scattered around the environment as food for thought, informing you of animal and plant trivia.

When you start playing, you need to customize your avatar. There are only 3 possible characters, so you should try to make yours unique to stand out in a crowd.

Animal Jam stresses the social part of its play, so if you are a sociable person, it will make the game much more fun for you. You can add real-life friends to the game or make new ones while playing — just make sure you’re not giving out personal information to people you don’t know. You can’t use your real name, though. There is only a pre-selected list of names you can choose from. Don’t worry, they are not boring.

The animal you choose as your character will affect which quests and treasure hunts you can be a part of. So, if you want to have shared missions with your friends who have wolf characters, you better choose a wolf too.

It’s nice to have lots of friends in the game because you can trade with them, and you won’t get bored too soon. They can invite you on exciting adventures and play games with you.

There are five areas in Animal Jam. The starting point is Jamaa Township, and there are a lot of things to do. The other ones are the Lost Temple of Zios, Mt. Shiveer, Crystal Sands, Sarepia Forest, and Coral Canyons. These are like the counterpoints in the game, each with its own theme and hidden secrets. Crystal Sands, for example, has a secret wolf cave, Sarepia Forest has an area for monkeys, and the Lost Temple of Zios has a secret bunny den.

Controls 5/5

The controls are simple. You navigate your character in a third person view running around the map looking for quests, new friends, and items to customize your character.

Being a certain animal gives you an advantage in some mini games. For example, in Falling Phantoms where you have to move quickly to avoid being attacked, a small and fast rabbit is a perfect choice. This kind of knowledge helps you get more gems.

Replay Value 4,5/5

Animal Jam is an online game with numerous quests and mini games. It’s always fun to replay it to compete with new players, earn gems to buy furniture to decorate your den and clothes to customize your character from head to tail.

You can join a gigantic community of players worldwide and then meet and chat with your buddies within the game.

In-app purchases

In Animal Jam, in-app purchases may improve certain aspects of the game, adding new animals and improving their dens. However, you can explore the environment, play mini games, learn about animals and plants, and interact with other players without making any purchases as well.

Gems and diamonds are the two ways to pay for items in the game. Gems are free, and you can earn them playing games and going on treasure hunts. Diamonds are more valuable and need to be bought. They cost $9.99 for 10 and $19.99 for 25.

It’s probably a good idea to wait on buying diamonds until you are sure you like the game. That goes for purchasing a membership, too.

If you decide to buy a membership, it’s $6.95/month, $29.95/6 months, and $54.95/year. In return, you’ll get to access secret members-only features and lounges, and get free diamonds every week.

Conclusion

Animal Jam has great graphics and animations, featuring multiple mini games and with them many happy hours of pure fun. There is also an excellent online security and safety for children. The makers encourage parental supervision with logging in and making purchases.

In addition, the game brings up an important message as its storyline focuses on environmental sustainability.
